“For President Biden, the Dreaming-of-F.D.R. phase of his presidency may end in little more than a week. If Republicans capture one or both houses of Congress in midterm elections, as polling suggests, Mr. Biden’s domestic agenda will suddenly transform from a quest for a New Deal 2.0 to trench warfare defending the accomplishments of his first two years in office,” the New York Times reports.

“On a wide array of issues like abortion, taxes, race and judges, Mr. Biden’s opportunities would invariably shrink as he focuses less on advancing the expansive policy goals that have animated his administration and more on preserving the newly constructed economic and social welfare architecture that Republicans have vowed to dismantle.”

“While the president and Democratic leaders have not publicly given up on the possibility of hanging onto Congress in the balloting that concludes on Nov. 8, privately they are pessimistic and bracing for two years of grinding partisan conflict.”

1. President Biden's agenda will be the least of our worries.

2. Democracy is hanging by a thread and repugs have the scissors out.

3. everyone is so depressing

with their GD polls! If they are right it is nothing new. Except the RW redistricting to favour their party. I can only hope people with a reliable conscience about roe v wade will step up and hit the homerun that will turn away the fascist racists. I know... keep dreaming. But I am still entitled to dream even though the loser in 2020 has unleashed a tidal wave of hate, white fear of being supplanted racially by minorities soon and a lethal attack on democracy 1-6-21 led by the loser himself.

Has the American been so dumbed down on their critical thinking skills that the delusions of all these anti-democracy militias taking over the country in another bloody coup attempt are to be feared? I just have to believe these traitorous seditionists will get no further than they did fictionally in Rod Serling's 7 days in May or in real-time on 1-6-21. Although the scenario is different do republikkkans want this really in numbers that can turn our democracy into a fascist state?

I just have to believe there are more of us than them.
